We walked these streets like kings, our faces in the wind And everywhere we were, we made the city sing We sang "forever young," we had our fingers crossed And when the city sleeps, it dreams of us Yeah, it still does Oh, love, it changes shapes; it glows in many shades We won't be gone as long as our echoes resonate We need no photographs; the past's not only past I find us everywhere and that's how the magic lasts Cause everywhere we've been, we have been leaving traces They won't ever disappear We were here, we were here, we were really here And the rains get rough, but time can't wash us off We won't ever disappear We were here, it was really love Everywhere we've been, we have been leaving traces They won't ever disappear We were here, we were here, we were really here And the rains get rough, but time can't wash us off We won't ever disappear We were here, it was really love It's only little things: footmarks and fingerprints, a treasure hunt through town It's full of evidence, our monuments are all around Everything's on the move; the paint is wet, all colors are new But if you look carefully, you'll see us shining through Cause everywhere we've been, we have been leaving traces They won't ever disappear We were here, we were here, we were really here And the rains get rough, but time can't wash us off We won't ever disappear We were here, it was really love Everywhere we've been, we have been leaving traces Everywhere we've been, we have been leaving traces And the rains get rough, but time can't wash us off We won't ever disappear We were here, it was really love We were here, we were here, we were really here We were here, we were here, we were really here We were here, we were here, we were really here We were here, we were here, we were really here We were here, we were here, we were really here We're in the air, we're in the water From the rooftops down to the pier I'll never walk these streets alone We were here, we were here, we were really here Engraved into waves; invisible ink on the walls We were here, we were here, we were really here
